RE: why the 16meg space size limit?

["Joe Pluta" <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Leif, I'm happy for you.  You designed an innovative operating system.  I
designed quite a few innovations in my time, including the first commercial
distributed application using PCs and the AS/400 (for International
Harvester), and the first commerical graphical client/server applications
for OS/2 and the IBM midrange (for System Software Associates).  You write
systems software, I implement it for real world applications.  We're both
pretty good at what we do.

So I appreciate your abilities, but I'm dumbfounded at what seems to me to
be an ever-increasing nastiness towards the AS/400.  It's as if you hate the
machine.  Which is surprising, considering it's the best commercially
available midrange computer available today.  With all its warts, OS/400 is
an outstanding architecture.

So, okay, it's not up to your standards.  That statement would have a little
more impact if I didn't get the distinct impression that nothing is up to
your standards.  And if that gives me foot-in-mouth disease, well so be it.

Joe
